Illegal gold miners defy DENR’s order

PAGADIAN City––Former Governor Vicente Madarang Cerilles, more fondly called by friends and subordinates as “manager,” joined his Cre-ator on May 20, 2012 at the age of 88 at Quezon City in Metro Manila. His remains was brought to Pagadian City on May 26, 2012. His interment is scheduled on June 2, 2012 at Pagadian cemetery.

He is survived by second wife, Jean, and children, Vicente H. Cerilles Jr., a government retiree, Antonio

Officials said the illegal activities continue unabated in Balabag in the mountain village of Depore, where one miner had died from a recent landslide.

The Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) of the Department of En-vironment and Natural Re-sources (DENR) in Western Mindanao said at least 28 owners of illegal rod mills used in processing of gold continue to operate in Bala-bag without any government permits.

PAGADIAN City––Authorities have failed to put a stop to illegal gold mining activities despite a government order in the town of Bayog in the southern Philippine province of Zamboanga del Sur, officials said.

operating without valid environmental permits from the EMB. Illegal rod mill op-erators violated Clean Water Act of 2004, Clean Air Act of 1999, Toxic Substances, Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act of 1990,” said EMB Regional Director Sixto Tolentino in a letter sent recently to Zamboanga del Sur Governor Antonio Cerilles.

Cerilles is also the chair-man of the Zamboanga del Sur Inter-Agency Task Group on Mining, Environ-ment, and Public Order, and Safety. Just this year, Cerilles ordered the closure of all

illegal mining operations in Bayog, but some of its financiers were government officials.

The task group is com-posed of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, En-vironmental Management Bureau, Provincial Environ-ment Office, Armed Forces of the Philippines through the 1st Infantry Division, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and representatives of the Sang-guniang Panlalawigan of Zamboanga del Sur.

The MGB has released an (cease and desist) order last month stopping all il-legal mining operations in Balabag. But military and police authorities have failed to carry out the order for a still unknown reason.

The EMB warned owners of illegal rod mills, mostly members of the Monte de Oro Small Scale Miners Association headed by

MAKATI City––The Bank of the Philippine Islands is scaling up its Sustainable Energy Finance (SEF) pro-gram with a $1.2 million (Php 50.4 million) grant it won in the G-20 SME Finance Challenge Award for the bank’s innovative financing scheme focused on energy projects of small and medium enterprises.

BPI’s SEF program, the product of a partnership between BPI and the Inter-national Finance Corpo-ration (IFC) of the World Bank Group, was declared the only East Asian winner among the 14 awardees of the prestigious online competition joined by more than 200 entries from all over the world.

The grant will be used to improve market awareness through education of SMEs in energy efficiency and renewable energy projects and to enhance the capac-

ity of the bank’s Lending Group to deliver financing and technical services to clients, according to a BPI presentation at its Makati headquarters today.

BPI President Aurelio Montinola III said, “As a pioneer in green banking and in developing the SME market, BPI is thankful for the grant that will en-able us to expand our SEF program.

Under this program, we have been able to dis-burse over Php5.1 billion in loans to sustainable energy projects, many of them belonging to small entrepreneurs.”

Montinola noted that the bank’s SEF clients have been able to reduce energy use by 142,000 megawatt hours (MWh) and gener-ate renewable energy of 208,200 MWh each year.

The investments have also resulted in reducing

greenhouse gas emissions by 527,900 tons annually.

The G-20 has desig-nated the IFC, represented by Matthew Gamser who presently heads the SME Finance Forum, to manage the grant given to the 14 winning entries.

Speaking at the BPI ceremonies, Gamser said: “ The grant assistance, which is meant by the G-20 economies to benefit a wider market of small and medium enterprises, will be in the very competent and responsible hands of BPI.”

He added: “We in IFC are delighted to extend our global experience in financing and developing sustainable energy tech-

nologies, particularly as they help SMEs manage their energy costs, to a valued partner such as BPI.”

IFC started working with BPI on its SEF pro-gram in Januar y 2008 and the partnership was renewed twice, f irst in September 2009 and then in January this year.

Complementing it was a risk-sharing agreement between the two entities signed in December 2009, under which IFCguaran-teed up to 50-percent of qualified loans worth a total of Php2 billion.

In a new risk-sharing facility signed recently with IFC, the total amount was further increased to Php5 billion.

WHEN it comes to investing to one’s future, no amount is too high to secure it.

That’s how the city government of Valenzuela values learning, as it invests big time on education.

In Valenzuela City, education is a right and not a privilege.

Already, Valenzuela has one of the lowest tuition fees in the tertiary level, with students paying only a measly P1,500 per semester at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng V alenzuela.

Heavily subsidized by the city government, the student population has grown from 1,000 to 3,500 at present.

Under the leadership of Mayor Sherwin Gatchalian, the city of Valenzuela is experiencing a new beginning, with education as a solid foundation.

Valenzuela City is now con-sidered a success story, where no one can go wrong especially when investing in education.

Already, Valenzuela City’s high school students are perhaps one of the most IT-prepared and enabled in the entire country , with the city government flooding public schools with computers.

About 850 stand-alone comput-ers and 17 LCD projects have been provided to the city’s 17 public high schools , allowing the students to be proficient in computer technology.

In fact, Valenzuela city boasts of developing the first ever computer-ized campus poll in the country.

More classrooms, more teachers:Early on, the city government

saw it fit to increase the budget for education to improve quality and make it accessible to everyone.

From 147 million in 2004, when Gatchalian first assumed office, the budget for education steadily grew to P205 million in 2005 to P227 million in 2010 and P233 million in 2011.

That’s almost a 60 percent

Valenzuela City invests big-time on

children’s futureincrease in education budget in a span of 6 years.

Instead of constructing expen-sive city buildings and structures, Valenzuela City chose to build more classrooms to solve overcrowding and shortage of classrooms.

As of 2011, more than 2,000 classroom has been built in both the elementary, high school and tertiary levels.

On top of these, the city govern-ment has allocated a separate P225 million for classroom infrastructure program to further decongest over-crowding.

The city government is also investing big time in the improve-ment of the educational system with comprehensive training programs for teachers and hiring of additional teachers.

From a low of 175 in 2005, a total of 330 teachers are now under the payroll of the city government.

Early childhood care develop-ment”

Valenzuela City has adopted a holistic approach to education. Its leaders know that early childhood education training is crucial for total development.

From 22 day care centers in 2005, the city government estab-lished 22 more, that saw the rise of child enrollees from around 4,000 in 2004 to 8,000 in 2012.

Kindergarten enrolment also rose from 3333 in 2004 to 9,703 in 2012.

Gatchalian said no price is steep enough when it comes to education- the one crucial key in combating poverty.

“We owe it to our children to give them the best quality education there is to assure their future and become productive citizens,” he said.

“Education is something that no one can take away from you. It is the best service we could give to our constituents,” he added.

We are dreamers. Yes, we, the people of Cagayan de Oro are dreamers. Right from the very start – when Cagayan de Oro then was no more but a small gathering of households built in the mounds of Cagayan de Oro River – we had our dreams. We neither deprived nor discouraged anyone, much less, a Cagayanon the liberty to dream.

It is self-pity to say that one is not free to dream. The people of Cagayan de Oro encouraged everyone – from our children to the old – to share their dreams. In addition, we shared common dreams since time immemorial. It is a dream of a progressive and highly developed City of Cagayan de Oro.

We have achieved progress and development through these years because of our common dream. A common dream that leads Cagayanons to be like what we are today. We credited our achieve-ments because we worked together to fulfill our dreams. We are proud that our dreams came true. It is wrong to say that we curtail anyone to dream.

However, we have dreams that we do not want to take place. We have dreams that we do not want to turn into nightmares. We have dreams that a Cagayanon will not allow to happen now and in the future. These are dreams of people who work to destroy and discredit the gains that we, Cagayanons, had attained through the years.

We, the people of Cagayan de Oro, will never allow the dreams of those who aspire to poison the minds of our people. We are aware of the lies and smear campaigns of people who dreamed of deceiving us.

We are aware of the dreams of people who

invent stories in an effort to mislead the public at large. We, Cagayanons, are aware of the ‘bul-lying in the net’ initiated by ruthless dreamers of destruction and contempt. We know who these devious dreamers are.

It is in this context that we, Cagayanons,

are protecting our dreams from encroachment by these cunning individuals and groups. We unite to drive away schemes of individuals and groups pretending to be dreamers. We unite to protect the gains of the incumbent administration – today and tomorrow.

MABUHAY ANG CAGAYANONS! MABUHAY ANG CAGAYAN DE ORO!

BUTUAN City––Some 344 households in Barangay San Antonio, Remedios T. Romualdez, Agusan del Norte will now enjoy clean, safe and fresh drinking water as the Department of Agrarian Reform Provincial Office through the Agrar-ian Reform Infrastructure Support Project Phase III (ARISP-III) turned over a P6-million Potable Water System Level II project to local officials last May 22, 2012.

The turn-over ceremony was led by Remedios T. Romualdez Mayor Nilo D. Soliva, DAR-Caraga Regional Director Faisar A. Mambuay and Provincial Agrarian Reform Officer Andre B. Atega, who hand-ed the documents to San Antonio Water Sanitation Association Remedios T. Romualdez Agusan Norte (SAWSARTRAN).

In his message, Soliva praised DAR-ARISP III for the infrastructure, institu-tional strengthening and agri-business development projects it has poured to his town.

He thanked Agusan del Norte Gov. Erlpe John M. Amante and Second Dis-trict Rep. Angelica Rosedell

M. Amante-Matba, who are the direct partners in a counterpart arrangement in the implementation of the potable water system and other DAR-ARISP III sub-projects.

Mambuay stressed that the potable water system sub-components will pro-vide reliable water supply to the community and urged the end users to take care of the project.

According to DAR-ARISP III Project Engineer Ernesto Gatab, the Potable Water System Level II ac-quired its source from a spring using an intake box that consistently distribute water all the way to 62 common faucets servicing about 5-10 households per communal faucet.

R.T. Romualdez Munici-pal Agrarian Reform Offi-cer Virginia Batosalem said “about 1,958 residents from 344 households are cur-rently benefiting from the project. SAWSARTRAN will operate, maintain and ensure that all plans and policies are implemented.”

Bioleta O. Alingasa of Barangay San Antonio said the completion of the po-table water system will give her and other beneficiaries

“great relief ” from negoti-ating an 800-meter slop-ing trail from her village to the water source and vice-versa.

“Usahay kung ting-ulan, dili mainom ang tubig. Naay uban, dali ra mo-sakit and tiyan (When it rains, we could not drink the water. Others suffer diarrhea),” she said.

Present during the turn-over rites included R.T. Romualdez Vice-Mayor Eleuterio Enriquez, San Antonio Barangay Chair-man Diosdado Enriquez, DAR PARO I Denia Jabagat, local officials and barangay residents.

The project is jointly funded by the Philippine government and Japan In-ternational Cooperation Agency (JICA) and imple-mented under DAR’s Agrar-ian Reform Infrastructure Support Project III.

Meanwhile, the Agricul-tural Agri-business Devel-opment Sub-Project turned over livestock and house materials worth P534,393 to Maunlad Farmer Benefi-ciaries Cooperative, RTR Women’s Association, San Antonio Farmers Multi-Purpose Cooperative for vegetable product ion, swine-breeding and na-tive chicken projects, re-spectively.

THE FOOD and Drugs Administration (FDA) has ordered Southeast Asia Foods Inc. (SAFI), maker of Golden Fiesta Cook-ing Oil, to stop airing its commercial for containing “misleading claims.”

SAFI may also face legal and administrative sanc-tions for the violation, the order said.

The FDA’s order resulted from a complaint of San Pablo Manufacturing Corp. (SPMC) that Golden Fi-

Commercial airing of cookingoil product ordered stop, FDA

esta’s commercials made unfounded claims -- may be re-used for frying food for seven times without af-fecting the product’s quality, color, or appearance; and 50 percent less saturated than regular oil.

As such, SAFI was di-rected “under pain of legal and/or administrative sanc-tions, to immediately cease and desist from further airing the same misleading advertisement.”

FDA, in its resolution,

also ordered SAFI, pursu-ant to Section 2, Article 7, Book 3 of the Implement-ing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act 9711, to reply/comment within a non-extendible period of 10 days from receipt of the order “as to why no further administrative or legal ac-tion should be taken against you and your establishment for the aforesaid violation.”

THINK a minute.Remember the first peo-

ple to ever fly an airplane? There were the Wright brothers, just a week before Christmas, 1903.

They were so excited they sent an urgent telegram message to their sister which said: “First flight in history today! Hope to be home for Christmas.”

Their sister rushed to the local newspaper with the message.

The next day, the news-paper headline read: “Local Brothers to Be Home For Christmas.”

Not one word was said about their flying! The news-paper editor had completely missed the point of the message: for the first time in the history of the world, human beings could fly.

Missing the point

Did you know another even bigger misunderstand-ing in history?

It’s Christmas. How many of us celebrate Christ-mas every year? Yet we keep missing the point.

We still have not gotten the message and understand what it means. This is all the more surprising since the life of Jesus Christ is the turning point of all history.

The world’s calendar is based on His birth. No one

in history has ever been an-nounced hundreds of years before he was born.

No one else ever died and was buried for 3 days, then brought Himself back to life.

This is because no other man, religious teacher or prophet was God Himself. Only this one man Jesus Christ.

“If you’ve seen Me, you’ve seen God the Father, because I am God the Son. And I

will come again to judge this world and whomever has chosen not to believe me and ask for my gift of forgiveness and eternal life.”

Friend, what we decide and do with Jesus Christ in this life now, decides what Jesus must do with us after we die.

So I hope you now un-derstand the point and meaning of Christmas. That God loves us so much, He humiliated Himself to be-come a human being named Jesus Christ and die for our sins, so we could be forgiven and free to start life all over again.

Only this time, we’ll be living our Maker’s way, which is the right way that always works. The choice is yours.

Restore judiciary’s independence

Headaches, how common can it get?

AN acquittal of Chief Justice Renato Corona is a triumph of justice in the country. The acquittal will negate the thought that the country’s judicial system operates to favor a few. It will also send a strong message to politi-cians that effort to influence the court of justice is an exercise in futility.

The Senate impeachment court knows pretty well that to convict the CJ will have debilitating consequence in the country’s entire judicial system. It is certain that the effects of conviction will do more harm than good to the entire judicial system.

No, we are not defending the CJ. We are telescoping the distant future where the judiciary is an easy prey of any elected President in this country. Indeed, the repercussion of the impeachment of the Chief Justice of the country’s Highest Tribunal already brought the judiciary in the eye of suspicion.

Notwithstanding the suspicion that the CJ is far from being immaculate, a conviction is a victory that satisfies the caprices of an individual. After all, could anyone cast the first stone to say that he has clean hands? Could the President say he has no skeletons in the closet?

Honestly, an ordinary citizen who knows a little of how this government operates could sense that some-thing was wrong in the impeachment of the Chief Justice. Right from the start, the impeachment proceedings were already marred with various questionable motives. Even

the prosecution bungled in many instances. The mess created by the prosecution showed the extent of what a tramp up charges could mean.

Senator ‘Bongbong’ Marcos once voiced suspicion that the impeachment of the Chief Justice is a product of conspiracy. While the Senator did not elaborate on his statement, it was clear that Malacanang was spearheading a smear campaign against the CJ in many forms. The Senate, seating as an impeachment court, censured the prosecution for issuing statements and documentary evidences to the media. Worst, the President himself kept on denouncing the CJ in many of his official functions.

Obviously, the President and his conspirators want to influence public opinions through trial by publicity. The trial by publicity was eve extended to the web through leading surveys intended to convict the CJ. Voters of these leading surveys were part of the conspiracy, too. These leading surveys were going on even before the Senate impeachment court could decide on the CJ case. Like the public at large, the Senate impeachment court scornfully detests the conspiracy intended to influence their decision.

Even then, the CJ was able to defend himself. He has explained why some of his accounts were not in his SALN. The Chief Justice expressed himself the way the public appreciated how the impeachment proceedings came about. The impeachment proceedings done to please the President’s interest – not the interest of the Filipino people. Thus, the CJ deserves an acquittal.

ONE of the most common symptoms, that, each one of us must have felt or ex-perienced, FEVER. This week, I want to touch on another common aches of the many aches that we do go through, HEADACHE.

How many of us, has had episodes of this apparently simple, passing pain in the head, which may happen any time, any day, for no reason or with reason?

Studies have shown that 90% of the general popula-tion worldwide suffer from headaches. There are so many causes why one de-velops this , but accordingly, 90% of which is said to be classified as TENSION headache.

A headache is described as pain anywhere in the re-gion of the head or neck, and is a symptom of a number

of different conditions, and is non specific.

The brain tissue itself is not sensitive, as it has no pain receptors. The pain is caused by a distur-bance of the pain sensitive structures around the brain. There are over 200 types of headaches, whose cause range from harmless to life threatening. But, for this purpose of understanding this universal symptom, it is best to limit it to that which we are familiar with:

Tension and Migraine.Of course, a headache

may be associated with fever, with malignancy, infections, and even when there is trauma to the body, like in vehicular accidents.

Tension Headache is associated with STRESS, which can either be physical or emotional in nature. Like, when one just sits in his/ her desk the whole day, work-ing, with no break at all, or when one is pressured with deadlines to beat, or when

there are family issues to be resolved, one may develop this type of headache.

The pain begins in the back of the head and upper neck, which is more intense over the eyebrows, and is usually mild, with no other signs or symptoms. This is in contrast to that of Mi-graine: pounding in nature, painful, with associated nausea, vomiting, light and sound sensitivity. Migraine attacks can actually rob one of quality of life!

But more serious than Tension or Migraine head-aches, is the headache that may just be attributed to these two, when actually the headache is secondary to an underlying structural problem.

THE GOVERNMENT is working on an assistance package to help local ba-nana farmers affected by the trade row with the People’s Republic of China and could come up with a relief plan next week.

Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said the President met with the re-spective government agen-cies dealing with the banana issue.

“The exports to China account for 30 percent of our market. Now, the long-

term position is we have to broaden our markets. The short-term is we are providing assistance to the banana growers,” he said.

“We are going to identify who the banana growers are because the exports in China only constitute 30 percent; 70 percent we are doing well. We are going to provide… and we’re still

looking at ways to provide assistance--cash for work, financial assistance and assistance to the packaging houses of the bananas,” he added.

The President will issue details of the assistance package after the economic team and other government line agencies come up

SOME Catholic prelates expressed optimism that the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona would teach appropriate lessons to everyone in gov-ernment service.

Bacolod Bishop Vicente M. Navarra told CBCPOn-line Radio, that “God al-lowed these events to hap-pen so that the evil done and the evil intent of men will be uncovered and Truth will come out and Justice is vindicated.”

Navarra believes both the prosecution and defense “have their own hidden agenda which will greatly affect the common good and the country’s welfare.”

The impeachment trial that has generated a lot of publicity is expected to draw to a close in a day or two.

Jaro Archbishop Angel N. Lagdameo said he is praying for all those in-volved in the impeachment trial— from prosecutors to the defense lawyers, senator-judges and Chief Justice Renato C. Corona.

“I pray that all of them may act according to hon-est conscience and objec-tive truth and evidence in whose favor it may be,” the 71-year-old former CBCP

president said.He described the whole

impeachment trial as “a very expensive court case in a very poor country.”

Lagdameo said that Co-rona should be ready to give way to another Chief Justice, whether he is impeached or not.

Meanwhile, Isabela de Basilan Bishop Martin Ju-moad said he expects the senator-judges will be fair and will “not be swayed by political affiliation but by evidences presented.”

He said he remains op-timistic the impeachment trial will lead the country to its “shining moment” where true democracy lives.

Jumoad said with the impeachment proceedings, the world will respect the country and its leaders and would even attract foreign businessmen into investing in the Philippines.

For his part, Cubao Bishop Honesto Ongtioco said he expects the impeach-ment trail to be “fair as it is a true test how our senator-judges conduct things and their sense of justice and transparency.”

THEY’RE largely ignored, taken for granted and seen as burden in a society which puts premium in youth. But not in Valenzuela City, where they’re getting the attention and respect due them.

Showing its care and concern for its old popula-tion, Valenzuela City is set to launch its own senior citizen center that will cater to the needs of the aged and abandoned senior citizens.

“We are supposed to honor our fathers and moth-ers. That is our Filipino culture. We take care of the old and the aged and provide them the best service that we can,” Gatchalian said.

In the scheme of things, Gatchalian pointed out that concerns involving senior citizens are generally over-looked since they are seen more as burdens to society.

On the other hand, social services of many local gov-ernment units are focused towards the young, those children in conflict with the law and women issues.

While such issues de-mand priority attention, Gatchalian said problems involving the old and the aged should also get con-sideration.

“We should not look at them as liabilities. They deserve our respect and care, ” he said.

Roselyn Silva, for oper-ating without government permits

In an inspection in Bala-bag this month, Tolentino said the rod mill operators also violated various envi-ronmental laws. He ordered them to submit their reply to complaints filed against them.

He identified the illegal rod mill operators as Jessie Duala, Dodong Gumimpi, Sally Gumimpi, Arnulfo Garan, Boy Mantos, Loloy Labadisos, Arandy Silva, Jerry Silva, Roselyn Silva, Boyet Pausanos, Balolho Bation, Windelyn Bation, Gerardo Sinanggote, Nonoy Sinanggote, BGD, Lek2x Cabug-os and Corpo, Raul Dano, Nelly Samonte, Ajing Andilab, Belen Labilisma, Dinnes Paquit, Rico Briol, Dylene Generosa, Roberto Lopez, Eutime Virgo, Bob Lopez, Charity Monding and Stephine Maribao.

“Your failure to attend the scheduled conference or file a position paper shall be construed as a waiver of your right to present evidence in your behalf and the case shall be resolved based on evidence on record,” Tolen-tino said in separate letters sent to them.

The illegal gold mining activities in the sleepy town of Bayog have been going on for the past 15 years. Small scale miners have illegally claimed hundreds of hectares of lands Balabag and since then have caused tremendous environment pollution. The illegal miners used cyanide and nitric acid and other hazardous chemi-cals including mercury to process gold, according to DENR.

And despite these prob-lems, authorities are hapless in putting a stop to the illegal mining in Bayog where miners blasted their way through tunnels with improvised explosives. Child labors are also rampant in Balabag, where many laborers and miners had died from landslides and collapsed tunnels over the years. (Mindanao Examiner)

Kingpin...from page 1

The “manager” suc-ceeded in getting elected as provincial vice governor, in tandem with Governor Javier Ariosa under the Liberal Party, then munici-pal mayor of Molave, who toppled the Nacionalista stalwarts, the incumbent Governor Bienvenido A. Ebarle, the first elected governor of the undivided province of Zamboanga del Sur, who reigned for more than eight years prior to his downfall.

The Ceril les-Ariosa “honeymoon” was short-lived because Vice Governor Cerilles, who got elected as congressman of the lone district of Zamboanga del Sur, worked for the suspen-sion of Governor Ariosa against whom he ran in the ensuing election and won.

Even while serving as congressman, Cerilles ran for governor in the elections of 1971 with Mayor Jose L. Tecson of Aurora as his runningmate. They won but Cerilles held on to his congressional post paving the way for Tecson to as-sume the post of governor in a silver platter.

When Martial law came, Inting became more po-litically entrenched by be-coming a member of the National Assembly under the Marcos 1973 Constitu-tion that abolished congress.

It was during the heydays of the Marcos Martial Law regime that Inting was able to hold such position as deputy minister for agri-culture.

In 1978, he edged out Tecson and worked his way to becoming the provincial governor, this time, as a rec-ognized and acknowledged “political kingpin.”

When the EDSA People Power Revolution succeeded in toppling Marcos, Cerilles found himself rebuilding his political structures and was faced by such political moguls as Isidoro E. Real Jr. and Javier Ariosa who was appointed officer in-charge by then President Corazon “Cory” C. Aquino.

In 1988 elections, the big fight among the three, Ariosa, Cerilles, and Real took place that resulted in Jun Real beating the old political moguls, the advent of the Aquino leadership in national affairs sidelined In-ting Cerilles and was never able to return to power in local governance.

However, his popularity and the legacy he left con-tributed a lot to the buil-up of the political career of both his son, Governor

Antonio “Tony” Cerilles and his daughter-in-law, Rep. Aurora Enerio-Cerilles.

It was not immediately known whether Yusoph was toying with the grenade when it exploded. Sarud-song was shot on Friday in Cotabato City by an uniden-tified gunman. (Mindanao Examiner)

Oil...from page 1

Energy Agency expects the oil market to become tighter in the second half of the year.

DOE added that al-though US crude stocks are now higher than a year ago and OPEC stepped up to boost supplies in recent months, production stop-pages from Sudan, Syria, Libya and other non-OPEC producers remain a threat to markets. WIRE REPORT

Headaches...from page 4

Tumor in a 16 year old, whose complaint for a year was headache. He was pre-scribed analgesics and even made to wear eyeglasses. It was already too late when, due to the persistence of the problem, that, another specialist was consulted, a CT Scan was ordered. It was only then that the real problem causing the headache was diagnosed.

In other words, there may be more serious un-derlying conditions that may cause the headache. A CT Scan or an MRI may be needed in order to eliminate more serious problems.

There are certain “ red flag” symptoms that needs further investigation that should bring one to see-ing a Specialist, and these include: a headache that is persistent, developing within months, or when the headache is accompanied by other symptoms like inability to move a limb or other body parts, or one that worsens when one changes position, or, is associated with visual changes, neck stiffness or when during a physical examination, there are neurologic abnormalities that may be seen.

Understanding one’s body, attuned to the changes, getting the correct informa-tion, and acting on time, can be lifesaving....

SPMC belongs to the government sequestered CIIF-Oil Mills Group (CIIF-OMG) and is the maker of market leader Minola Cooking Oil.

With the development, advertising practitioners in the edible oil industry urged the Advertising Board (AdBoard) to scrutinize further the claims of ad-vertisers before approving their advertisements to pro-tect the Filipino consumers from “ridiculous claims”

and uphold the “truth in advertising.”

Dr. Guia Sison, an expert in internal medicine and occupational medicine, said that at the most, cooking oil can be used for up to three times only as repeated heating will cause the oil to produce rancid taste, and release the cancer-causing Polyaromatic hydrocarbon. Wire report

with a definitive pack-age assistance plan by next week, Lacierda said.

Lacierda also clarified that not all the banana ex-ports are suffering as a result of the stricter quarantine guidelines of the Chinese contrary to the claims of export associations.

The Philippines is one of the world’s top banana exporters with much of the fruits being grown in Mindanao. Among its ma-jor markets include Japan, South Korea, PROC and New Zealand. In 2010, the total export earnings for fresh Cavendish bananas amounted to $720 million.

The PROC is the coun-try’s second biggest export market for bananas next to Japan. Records show that as of February 2012, the

Philippine banana exports to the PROC accounted for 19 percent of the total export during the first two months of this year. WIRE REPORT

citizens who lived in the streets, sickly and abandoned by their families.

Extreme poverty has pushed these family members to forsake their aged family members.

“These people also have dignity. In Valenzuela City, we want them to reclaim that dignity,” he said.

Gatchalian said the city govern-ment has entered into a tie-up with a religious sector to operate the senior citizens center to be put up by Valenzuela City.

He said the center will be launched next month.

Housing and shelter is one of the major cornerstones of Gatchalian’s public service programs.

Recently, the city government opened the Disiplina Village, an in- city resettlement for informal settlers who were victims of typhoon Ondoy.

About 600 families will be benefi-ciaries of the project, where tenants will only P300 month for the rent of their 23 square-meter condo units. This is equivalent to only P10/day.
